WOW, Talk about making games easy. Its so easy they might as well make it for the wii.

What's a games difficulty have to do with a system?...

Also, playing the Wii is probably the most challenging of any system. Anybody can move their fingers. Not everyone can get up and play Wii Tennis.

That quote made my day, someone should signature this.

I don't get it, no casual is going to want this game...

That's just horrible....and extremely sad. More power to them anyways if they think they'll make more cash by making it accessible to people who don't want to take the time to learn how to play the game. verbalfilth

There is virtually no overlap between the people who are bad enough at games to need this mode, and the people who know what this game is and want to play it.

There's not really anything to be gained by putting it in the game.

I honestly don't see the big deal here, i just not gonna use it, besides, it's kind of cool for the time where you are just tired and just wanna see the insane game instead of playing it, and maybe they decided to implement this option because the game can get pretty hard, so that's a good thing for hardcore players, like i said, i'm not gonna use it, Bayonetta is still one of my most hyped games next year.

Oh come on, games have got to encourage and in some cases force the challenge on the consumer. Let's stop thinking about the children all the time.

One hand to play, and the other to do your business as the main characters clothes come off.

I personally disagree. The practicality behind the feature may seem inane on the surface but the very theory behind its placement immediately affects its overall accessibility.

Imagine Ninja Gaiden, a game notorious for and somewhat crippled by its difficulty, having this very feature enabled. It would immediately become accessible to any and everyone who wanted to play it without posing much of a challenge. This very accessibility will increase an audience.

Oh, and by the by, I doubt devs waste the time, energy and resources to put something in a game if they believed there's nothing to be gained from it.

But of course…that's just one man's opinion. :P

It doesn't affect so I don't care.

Casuals can be good at games, hardcore gamers can totally suck.

Time spent != skill

Well, it matters what you call 'hardcore' and 'causal'.

Didn't he say high profile? Because there are some difficult games on the PS360, but they aren't popular.

Ppl sure love to jump the gun without any other sort of information. DMC games have an automatic mode, yet the higher and eve normal difficulties are quite challenging nad some of the hardest of recent times. So I'll wait and see what they have to say about normal> before I can say.

[QUOTE="tagyhag"][QUOTE="surrealnumber5"] funny thing is, i cant think of any high profile "HD" console game that has any sort of difficulty. oh wait geometry warsYandere

Yea he probably meant high-profile in general.

I was just thinking about SW. :P

:lol::lol: That's worse than GOW button mashing!

Cool a vid that sums up console games perfectly.

I'm definitely skipping that difficulty & moving on to the hardest difficulty available. I guess it's a nice option for those who are intimidated by such intense games. I know my girl wouldn't go anywhere near Devil May Cry 3 or 4 (mainly because of the violence) but this option might ease her into playing these types of games (probably but not very likely).

On a side note, the game looks badass & I can't wait for it! I might have to watch that vid again just to satiate my need for that game. :P

Pathetic, lost any respect I could have for the devs.

Yandere

Allowing the option to do so is pathetic.. The majority of games are easy enough already.

[QUOTE="reyad-u"] Why? thats not the only way to play the game.wayne_kar

He said nothing of the sort. Games should have a decent amount of challenge not be stupidly easy. A mode where you have to do nothing but tap the same button over and over while watching isn't enjoyable in the slightest not even by casual standards. How stupid that woman looked tapping that same button. She really didn't look like she was having fun whatsoever. It's mind blowing how they can even think casuals are this lazy, this dumb as to want to play this way.

After watching the link posted in the TC post I'm.. shocked..:|

Games doesn't necesseraly have to be hard but this is just lame.
